Chapter 253 Busy
The siege weapon camp was busy, and the "Demonic Light Killing Cannon" was in full swing. Outside the camp tent was the crisp sound of the blacksmith's door knocking on the bronze pieces, but what Fitch clearly heard was the sound of spiritual coins falling into the pocket.
The craftsmen work enthusiastically under the supervision of the devil, and the word "passion" does not require quotation marks. Under the devil's slavery, Feiqi cannot distribute spiritual coins to the craftsmen, which is too eye-catching and suspicious. He asked the craftsmen to group and set rewards. He could get the elemental gems as a reward after completing the most and best group. In name, this was used to help them save mana and improve their work efficiency, but in fact, the elemental gems are considered a kind of "hard currency" and have always been stable. In the eyes of the craftsmen, this is money.
"I've been very tired these days. Buy them some real meat, don't always have insect meat porridge." Feiqi told Kazmuk, "But you still have to keep a close eye on the progress and quality. If you find a craftsman with strange ideas, just tell me, or let the two Bone Demon Captains deal with it."
The two barb demons in the siege weapon camp successfully advanced and returned proudly in the posture of a bone demon. However, they were not proud when facing Feich. After all, "some devils" cannot simply apply the rank to calculate. They suspected that Feich's strange combat power came from the wooden stick behind him and the strange sword, in other words, "equipment makes him powerful". This explanation helps to improve their self-confidence, but cannot change the outcome of the battle - so they still have to be obedient.
If a craftsman is disobedient, then let the bone demon "clear" it. Feiqi himself does not do this dirty work. He is very busy now and is all his energy to find ways to cover up the huge profits of the "Demon-punching Light Killing Cannon".
Kazmuk asked a question: "Although you can get a very high price when selling, the amount of raw materials purchased is too low, which still causes problems. The expenditure of craftsmen in the camp is zero, and they are essentially maintained by the war zone. They do not need to pay for the project of the Magic Guanguang Killing Cannon, so the cost is all raw materials..."
Feiqi agreed that he would have to make the illusion that the cannon cost about 550 gold coins anyway, which means that a lot of extra raw materials will be purchased and actually transported to the camp, and then they will find a way to sell them unknowingly. The Fire Dwarf will worry about how to settle the accounts of the camp warehouse, and Feiqi will have to go to the Blood Sales Market or find Styx Shipping to deal with the actual things.
Andrew's coronation ceremony is about to be held, so he will definitely come to congratulate him and buy some gifts. The things in the Blood Sales Fair have more or less aura of hell, and for the sake of "easy sale", the style is also close to the devil's aesthetic, so it must not be used to give it to the king of the human world.
After choosing for a long time and thinking for a long time, Feiqi decided to buy a loyal guard who will never rest and give it to Andrew. He did not refer to the slave warriors of the Dark Rest Clan on the market. Although they have superb combat power and excellent credibility, and their two brains can take turns to rest, they can always remain alert and are the best candidates for guards. However, it is illegal to buy and sell people in Aria, and the Dark Rest Clan warriors will not hide the fact that they are slaves.
In addition to this race and the more unlikely undead guards, there is only a golem left to choose. Golem, also known as a construction puppet, is a combat equipment driven by mana. It is generally distinguished by its appearance material: flesh, soil, bronze, steel, and even the legendary Mithril golem.
There are also golems selling in the Blood Sales Market, but they are either broken or have poor performance. The golem that Feiqi wants cannot rely on the user's mana, it must at least be self-sufficient. Whether it is absorbing the free elements around it or drawing power from the land under its feet to defend Andrew's golem, it cannot put a burden on Andrew. The golem that can be sunbathed in the sun for one day, standby time for three days, and fight for three minutes with all its strength is not within Feiqi's selection range.
There is indeed a legend that the golem can reach this level, but the reason why the legend is a legend is that no one has seen it in reality. Feiqi traveled all over the entire blood seller market, and collected a lot of information, books, and spells related to golem, but he didn't like any golem. In desperation, he had to choose the Styx shipping.
Selling "excess" materials to Styx is a very poor thing, and buying things from them is relatively high, so when you calculate inside and outside, the price of Shield Guardian Iron Golem that Feich chose was three times higher than the price of the Blood Sale Market. "This is the Shield Guardian Iron Golem created by the best spell casters. It is very exquisite and exquisite, and in some aspects can be regarded as a work of art." The ferryman knew that this was a big business with about one thousand spiritual coins, so he was very enthusiastic about selling it.
Feiqi did not agree immediately, but calculated carefully. He found that there was an interesting phenomenon in the Styx shipping, that is, the finished product is expensive, the raw materials are cheap, the news is expensive, and the knowledge is cheap. A "Painted Book" written by Asmotils is only equivalent to two and a half-Shield Guard Iron Golems. Isn't this very strange? He decided to test it.
The Ferryman did not feel suspicious. Although his answer was more like an advertising slogan, he had already revealed information: "The Iron Golem of the Shield Guardian is widely applicable. It can exert its power in most places - except for a world without fire elements, or completely suppressing mana. Its range of activities is greater than that of the Desire Demon, so you can take it anywhere and let it protect you anywhere."
Applicability is the most important consideration when measuring value by Styx shipping. This is understandable. After all, Styx has its own tributaries in each outer plane, and Paradise Mountain and the bottomless abyss have their customers, so naturally the goods that can be sold everywhere are more valuable. The Painted Book is only useful for the Demon of Desire, and at most, it is a fool who would rather die than study Asmothils's idea. This scope of application is too small, which will definitely greatly affect the pricing of this book.
"I really want to know how this Shield Guardian Golem was made. If there is any information on this, I will buy it immediately."
"A artist who can create such golems is not short of money, so he has no intention of selling his own manufacturing technology. So this is not because Styx does not want to sell it, but because there is no such information."
"So how should I repair this golem? It's okay to say that the small damage is fine. What should I do when the big damage needs to be replaced? It costs too much money to ask you to transport it back to repair it. I can do it with magic. I want to try my skills."
"Styx Shipping can purchase a "Godle Refining Manual" for you. With a responsible attitude towards customers, I need to remind you in advance: the book has a deep knowledge and a high reading threshold."
I like advanced ones, just like I once liked to crack various high-encrypted programs. Feiqi ordered the Iron Golem of Shield Guardian and asked Styx to give the "Refinishing Manual" to himself, and sent the golem with the method of use to Yongli Continent and handed it directly to Shani.
"We checked this coordinates," the ferryman was stunned for a while, obviously contacting his superiors, and then said to Feiqi: "The Yongli Continent is protected by a sole god named Truth Thunder. Her kingdom of gods makes it much more difficult to teleport non-local creatures. Although there is a way to get in, it requires more teleportation costs."
This news is worth the fee, and Feiqi is willing to pay it. It seems that the goddess' kingdom of gods is not only about maintaining the entire world's magic spell casters, but also really provides shelter for the world. This kind of border shelter must be maintained at all times, and the consumption will definitely not be small. This also explains why only a few angels came to the world on the night of Blood Meteors.
Many monsters on the Blood Meteor Night were not wiped out, including the Titan Monster Lizard, which harmed Tawugang City and directly caused the death and injury of King and Prince of Aria. Through the books and materials bought in hell, Feiqi knew that the monster had another name in other worlds, but on whoever land had the right to name it. According to the information, unless the divine power directly intervened, the Titan Monster Lizard could not be killed. The Seraphic Gods' Service would definitely not be able to do anything to it, so you can expect it to come back at some time.
It is precisely because of this concern that Fei Qi wanted to give Andrew an Iron Golem of the Shield Guard. First of all, it was an iron golem, made of stainless steel, twice as tall as an ordinary person. The heavy footsteps were full of powerful momentum, and it was even more difficult to match when it casts poisons. It was not afraid of most spells, and all creatures would be afraid of its iron fist. If the iron golem was compared to the devil class, without considering the maneuverability difference caused by flight, the iron golem could easily smash the ice demon.
The shield guard is a golem-making process that is more defensive and protective. Its practicality is enhanced when applied to the iron golem (so it is more expensive). The core of this manufacturing process is a control talisman that is carried around the user's neck. The iron golem can directly obey the talisman's spiritual commands. No matter how far apart they are (as long as they are still in the same world), it can immediately arrive at the master. At the same time, the owner of the talisman can be immune to the iron golem's ability, and can also absorb the power of the iron golem through the talisman to heal itself, and change direction to let the iron golem bear damage for itself - it is also because of this ability that the shield guard becomes the best guard.
The ferryman of Styx Shipping quickly completed the transaction and asked Fitch if he had any other needs. "Is there any down-and-out god who sells the divine fire directly? I need a secondary god or divine clone level divine energy essence."
The ferryer shook his head directly: "Styx Shipping, like other cross-world commercial institutions, will not participate in God-level affairs, so there is no thing you need - and there is no God who sells permanent divine power. If you want to be a God-selected person and get a longer life, you can give it a try."
"No, as a devil, I only have non-natural death and do not need more life." Feichi waved his hand and asked the ferryman to leave.
The reason why he asked this was to prepare for the advanced form of the Desire Demon, that is, the form of the Desire Demon. As a high-level devil, the Heart-Sharp Demon is basically the same as the Desire Demon, and is more ostentatious in comparison. The ability tends to be secret and control. It is obvious that this is more in line with Feiqi's personality traits than the Desire Demon. The Desire Demon is indeed stronger in fighting, but Feiqi does not like to rush to the front line. He has magic, and hiding behind and controlling the situation on the battlefield is the right way.
After finishing the matter of the Iron Golem of the Shield Guard, Feich's heart was much more at peace. This time, Andrew's ascension to the throne took only half a month from the announcement to the beginning. He seemed quite anxious. He probably had to determine the title as soon as possible and then start to grasp the stability of the kingdom. Feich received a letter from Earl Hall, asking him to attend the coronation ceremony.
He actually thought so, and he also wanted to take Shani back and determine the relationship between the two. He felt that it was best not to be too anxious about this matter, just arrive a day or two in advance. After all, it won't take long to arrive with teleportation spells, and he was worried that Count Hall would arrange another task for him, so he might as well be free in hell. So he returned from the Styx to the siege weapon camp, and when Shani arrived at the time to summon him, he would go back.
Walking on the road, a strong wave of mana came from the direction of the Bronze Fortress, blowing on his face like a strong wind. This "wind" was only once, but with the keenness of the magician, Feiqi smelled the breath of undead creatures. There are many devils in the Bronze Fortress, but undead are rarely seen.
When passing the blood peddling market, it was even more noisy than usual. The mercenary camp managed by Kurdan was already full of people, and it seemed that adventurers were signing up very enthusiastically. "What happened?" Feiqi wanted to inquire, but the man was obviously afraid of Feiqi's identity as a demon, and just wanted to avoid and go to the registration office, without saying a word to him.
It doesn't matter. Anyway, the adventurer's affairs have nothing to do with him, and Fitch doesn't need to be hired by the devil and then work hard to make money. He returns to the camp and can also get news from his subordinate captain Bone Demon.
A Deep Demon named Pifid is the administrator of the Bronze Fortress Cursed Bone Gate. By taking charge of this famous plane teleportation channel, he has been living a very comfortable life, accumulating a lot of wealth, and establishing a network of relationships that other Deep Demons feared. It is its daily preference for extorting teleporters who want to leave Hell, and this time it mentioned iron plates.
According to those who survived the Curse Bone Sect, Pifeid's original body is actually a devil duke. It wanted to squeeze out excess wealth from a mage, but unexpectedly the mage completed it. Pifeid was arrogant and set up a trap to harm the mage, which caused a disaster. The mage released a large number of undeads and continued to summon the undead from the bloody battle battlefield of the gray ruins. In just one second, tens of thousands of ghosts filled the bronze fortress, and the subsequent follow-up seemed endless. Pifeid ran away, and most of the devil died on the spot. The undead seemed to have wisdom, and was not in a hurry to expand, but to steadily turn a considerable part of the Bronze Fortress block into a paradise of undead. They were still increasing in number, which made Bayer, the first lord, very angry.
"This is equivalent to the bronze fortress being broken, it would be strange if it is not angry." Feiqi understood the guy's thoughts very well.
Lord Bayer's subordinates temporarily restricted the undead, and then took a very generous reward sign to go to clean up the undead. People with experience in this area of combat are preferred. Feiqi thought about it and found that most of the devil's minds were filled with knowledge of fighting with demons, but there was almost no related to the undead. Even the bone demon only looked like a skeleton dragon, not a real undead creature.
This mission is obviously a trap. Bayer must have smelled the danger, which made the adventurer a cannon fodder. The breach of the Bronze Fortress means that it has always adhered to the bold words of "to defend with all its might and ensure that the Bronze Fortress is foolproof" and has failed. From then on, it has become a devil who has failed to keep its promises, and its face will definitely be swept away. Moreover, if it reveals its movements that are contrary to what comes out of its mouth, then other devils will definitely change their evaluation of their ability and may think about it?
"Make a fuss, the more chaotic it is, the better. I don't need a portal for the Bronze Fortress, and it's not my business."
Not long after the words were finished, the commander of the war zone came. Given Fitch's performance in the bloody battle, he was a crafty material. According to the order of Bayer, the lord of the first floor of Hell, the war zone commander Latis summoned Fitch to the Bronze Fortress to suppress the undead. This is a military order and must not be violated.
